Spotty snow and snow showers will extend from the central and northern Appalachians to the northern tier of the Great Plains. Farther south, most areas from the southern Atlantic coast to the central Plains will be dry with partial sunshine. Rain will dampen South Florida. A developing storm will produce rain and thunderstorms near the western Gulf coast. Coastal rain with mountain and inland snow will affect much of the Northwest states.

Mem- bers of the Michigan Na- tional Guard began arriv- ing in Flint on Wednesday for briefings on the drink- ing water crisis, ahead of a larger contingent of Guards- men who will help distrib- ute bottled water, filters and other supplies to residents. Gov. Rick Snyder had ac- tivated the National Guard late Tuesday, and Lt. Col. William Humes confirmed about a half-dozen repre- sentatives arrived Wednes- day morning. Flint's tap water became contaminatedwithtoomuch lead after the city switched its water supply in 2014 to savemoneywhileunderstate financialmanagement.Local officials first declared a pub- lichealthemergencyinOcto- ber in response to tests that showed children with ele- vated levels of lead. "I'm glad the state is put- ting in resources and we welcome the Michigan Na- tional Guard with open arms," Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said in a statement. "However, we also need fed- eral assistance as we con- tinue to cope with this man- made water disaster." Snyder has also requested support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in coordinating a re- covery plan with other fed- eral agencies that have the programs, authorities or technical expertise to help. FEMA appointed a disaster recovery coordinator to as- sist, spokesman Rafael Le- maitre said. About 30 Guardsmen will be in place by Friday, en- abling American Red Cross volunteers to join the door- to-door efforts that began Tuesday instead of staff- ing sites where residents can pick up free bottled wa- ter, filters, replacement car- tridges and home water test- ing kits. Genesee County sheriff's Capt. Casey Tafoya has said volunteers and police hoped to get to 500 to 600 houses a day in a city of about 99,000 residents with an estimated 30,000 households. State troopers and sher- iff's deputies escorted eight teams Tuesday. Flyers were left at homes where no one answered, giving the loca- tion of where to pick up the items later. Flint police, meanwhile, warned people to be wary of scammers. Chief James Tolbert said his department has received reports of peo- ple selling water filters, even though filters are being dis- tributed for free. For more than a year, wa- ter drawn from the Flint River leached lead from old lines into homes after the city switched its drinking water. Exposure to lead can cause behavior problems and learning disabilities in children. Flint has since returned to Detroit's system for its water, but officials remain concerned that damage to the pipes caused by the Flint River means that lead could continue to have an ef- fect. They also want to en- sure monitoring protocols are properly followed. The state auditor general and a task force created by Snyder have faulted the De- partment of Environmental Quality for not requiring Flint to treat the river water for corrosion and belittling the public's fears. The agen- cy's director stepped down last month. The task force also raised concerns about a lack of or- ganization in responding to the disaster.
